Hi,
I am running SELinux on my debian wheezy laptop. I would like to be able
to suspend in a defined amount of time, say 2h. This is useful e.g. when
watching a movie and falling asleep.
Unfortunately, SELinux blocks access to UPower's dbus interface. I guess
this is because programmatic access to power control is considered
dangerous.
My current workaround is to disable SElinux whenever I want to use the
described feature. This of course is not a desirable solution.
Is what I am trying to do possible or should I just start reading books
instead of watching movies?

Please post the actual denials that you see in /var/log/messages or
